This section explains the basic configuration of the ST- 224 as well as some important terms used in this manual. The illustration below shows the basic configuration of the ST-224. As can be seen from the chart, the ST-224 is made up of three main sections.
playback by hitting the pad. For example, when sampling a drum pattern, a single drum sound or the entire pattern can be assigned to a pad. A combination of all settings for pads 1 - 8 is called a "bank". The ST-224 has three banks which are selected with the [BANK 1] - [BANK 3] keys.
18 Introducing the ST-224 The following three types of memory are used in the ST- 224. • Main memory Volatile memory whose contents are lost when the ST-224 is turned off. Temporarily holds waveform data, pad parameter setting data, and song data for the internal sequencer.
BPM (beats per minute) is a tempo unit that indicates the number of quarter notes per minute. For example, a piece where a quarter note is 0.5 seconds long will have a BPM figure of 120, whereas a piece where a quarter note is 1 seconds long will have a BPM figure of 60.
20 Let's Try Out Sampling This section explains how to use the [RECORD] key to manually specify the start and end point of the sampling process. Manual sampling is convenient for example for quickly sampling a desired rhythm or bass pattern while listening to a CD.
21 Let's Try Out Sampling If you press the [CAPACITY] key, the approximate remaining sampling time in seconds (calculated for HiFi and Mono) will appear on the display. The indication "Mn" (Mono) or "St" (Stereo) will appear on the display.
The number of the most recent sample is shown. The currently selected sample will be assigned to the pad. The assign process is confirmed. • To cancel the assign process Press the [EXIT] key to return to the play mode. • To make a new sample Perform steps 1 - 11 again.
23 Let's Try Out Sampling The ST-224 goes into the sampling standby mode, and the LED of the [RECORD] key flashes. In this mode, sampling will start when the signal level exceeds a certain threshold (trigger level). This is useful for example for sampling drums or percussion sounds.
The value can be set in 1 second steps. The auto sampling time can also be specified in BPM units. To do this, hold down the [BPM] key and use the [-] and [+] keys to change the time. The display will change to BPM units. The time corresponding to four beats of the displayed BPM value will be the auto sampling time.
25 Pad Play Mode Operation The corresponding LED lights up. While the pad is pressed, its LED is lit and the sample assigned to the pad is played from start to end.
The [PAD FUNCTION] key is a special key that allows setting the playback function for each pad. When the [PAD FUNCTION] key and then the [SOURCE] pad is pressed, you can select whether to send the signal from the input jacks constantly to the output jacks (on) or send it only when hitting the [SOURCE] pad (oFF).
27 Pad Play Mode Operation The number of the currently selected sample appears on the display. The assign process is confirmed. • To continue assigning samples Repeat steps 1 - 5. • To cancel the assign process Press the [EXIT] key to return to the play mode.
28 Pad Play Mode Operation The number of the currently selected sample appears on the display. The indication "SCALE" appears on the display. The sample selected in step 1 is assigned to all pads 1 - 8, and the pad tuning is automatically changed using a Major scale, using pad 1 as the prime.
29 Pad Play Mode Operation The [PAD FUNCTION] LED flashes. The [PAD FUNCTION] LED and the LED of pad 3 are lit. Pressing the [PAD FUNCTION] key and then pad 3 enables the setting of the start point. All sample playback stops. While the pad is held down, the sample assigned to the pad plays in a loop.
30 The display indication can be switched from number of samples to milliseconds. To do this, press the [SPECIAL] key after step 3. The address of that point (or the time in milliseconds) is shown on the display, and the new start point is set to this location.
31 Pad Play Mode Operation The [PAD FUNCTION] LED flashes. (Parameter names are printed at the top right of the pads.) The [PAD FUNCTION] LED and the LED of the selected pad light up, and the current setting of that parameter is shown on the display. For a detailed explanation of parameters, see page 32 .
32 Pad Play Mode Operation The types and values of parameters that can be set for pads 1 - 8 and the [SOURCE] pad are as follows. • [SOURCE] pad (SOURCE MIX) When this parameter is set to "on", the signal supplied at the input jacks is always sent to the output jacks.
• Pad 7 (REVERSE) Switches between reverse playback (on) and normal playback (oFF). When "on" is selected, playback proceeds from the end point to the start point. Use the [- ] [+] keys or the [EDIT 1] wheel or the [LOOP/MARK] pad to make the setting.
The [COPY] LED flashes and the bank number (1 - 3) and pad number (1 - 8) of the copy source are shown on the display. The copy source is selected. The copy is carried out. To cancel the copy process, press the [EXIT] key. The settings for a given pad (sample number, playback position, playback method, etc.
35 Pad Play Mode Operation The [DELETE] LED flashes and the bank number (1 - 3) and pad number (1 - 8) of the pad to be deleted are shown on the display. The settings for the pad are deleted. To cancel the delete process, press the [EXIT] key instead of the [DELETE] key.
You can delete a specific sample or all samples from the main memory. This is useful for example to remove all preprogrammed samples or to remove unwanted samples in order to free up memory. Also when all samples are erased, the preprogrammed samples of the ST-224 can be restored by initializing the unit.
37 Pad Play Mode Operation While the [PLAY/STOP] key is held down, the display shows the currently selected sample number. Use the [-] [+] keys to change the sample number. When a selected sample is being optimized, the indication "oPt-XX" (XX is the sample number) is shown on the display.
The ST-224 considers the length of the waveform assigned to a pad as being 4 beats (quarter note x 4), and automatically calculates the BPM value for this waveform. Therefore it is necessary to adjust each sample so that it loops perfectly before using the Auto Sync function.
39 Matching BPM of Pads (Auto Sync) The [AUTO SYNC] LED flashes, and the indication "MAStEr" (master) appears on the display. This guides the user to specify the pad to be used as reference (master). The LED of the selected pad lights up. The indication "SLAvE" (slave) appears on the display.
When "rESMPL" is selected as auto sync type, resampling is carried out with the pitch shift effect applied. This may result in a slight alteration of the sound. When auto sync is completed, the indication "A-SYnC" appears on the display.
The automatically calculated BPM value appears on the display. The range of BPM values allowed by the ST-224 is 40 - 250. If the calculated BPM value is outside of this range, it is multiplied or divided by 2 until it fits in the range. Each push of the [-] or [+] key changes the setting within the allowable range.
The ST-224 has 22 types of built-in effects. You can select any effect and apply it to the sound of any pad. The [EDIT 1] wheel and [EDIT 2] knob on the unit can be used to adjust effect parameters in real time. It is also possible to synchronize a specific effect parameter with a certain BPM value.
To turn the effect off again, press the [EFFECT ON/OFF] key once more. When a MIDI message is used to turn an effect on, the effect will stay on until turned off by another MIDI message. The [EDIT 1] wheel and [EDIT 2] knob can be used to edit effect parameters, and they also serve as real-time effect controllers during pad or sequencer playback.
The [EFFECT SYNC] LED lights up and the effect parameter is set automatically as to synchronize to effect BPM. To turn the effect sync off, press the [EFFECT SYNC] key once more. Which effect parameter is synchronized to BPM depends on the effect. For some effects, there is no parameter that will be synchronized ( ➔ p.
The currently selected resolution appears on the display.

The ST-224 lets you record and play eight songs. A song is a series of pad actions. The maximum number of sounds is 5000, and the maximum length of all songs together is 300 bars. When a song which contains data has been selected, the song number and information about the current position (number of bars and beats) are shown on the display.
49 Creating Songs 4 quarter note 8 eighth note 12 eight note triplet 16 sixteenth note 24 sixteenth note triplet 32 thirty-second note Hi No quantization (1/24 of a quarter note) The [SONG FUNCTION] LED goes out, and the new quantize setting becomes active.
pad is changed after recording, the song will also be different during playback. • Effect operations are not recorded in a song. However, if effects are enabled for a pad, the effects will be active also during playback of the song. • The operation of the [SOURCE] pad cannot be recorded.
The [SONG PLAY/STOP] LED lights up and playback of the song starts at the beginning. • Also during playback of a song, you can hit pads to play them manually. However, the maximum number of simultaneous sounds may not be exceeded. • Effect operations are not recorded in the song.
The [SONG FUNCTION] LED flashes. When the [SONG FUNCTION] key is pressed, the pads serve to select the parameters printed at the bottom right. When a pad is pressed, the [SONG FUNCTION] LED and the LED of the pad are constantly lit, and the setting of the respective parameter appears on the display.
The song function parameters assigned to pads 1 - 8 are as follows. • Pad 1 (BAR LENGTH) Sets the length of a bar in the song. The maximum number is 300 bars for each song.
The [COPY] LED flashes and the song number (1 - 8) of the copy target appears on the display. The [COPY] LED goes out and the copy is carried out. To cancel the copy process, press the [EXIT] key instead of the [COPY] key.
The [DELETE] LED flashes and the song number (1 - 8) of the delete target appears on the display. The [DELETE] LED goes out and the delete process is carried out. To cancel the delete process, press the [EXIT] key instead of the [DELETE] key. The data recorded for a song can be deleted if no longer required.
The ST-224 incorporates a play list function which lets you assign songs 1 - 8 to pads 1 - 8 and play the songs by hitting the pads. This section explains how to use this function. Playing Songs With Pads (Play List Function) 56 Playing Songs With Pads (Play List Function) The ST-224 goes into play list mode.
"Resampling" refers to returning the output of the ST-224 to the sampler section for repeated sampling in the digital domain. This can be used to create a new sample based on multi-pad play or song playback by the internal sequencer. The new sample can then again be assigned to a pad.
• To terminate resampling when one-shot playback of pad is completed Press the [PAD FUNCTION] key so that the [PAD FUNCTION] LED lights up. • To terminate resampling when playback of song is completed Press the [SONG FUNCTION] key so that the [SONG FUNCTION] LED lights up.
59 Storing and Reading Data This section explains how to save the entire main memory contents or the waveform data for a pad to the backup memory and how to load this data back into the main memory. Storing and Reading Data Bulk data (all waveform data, pad parameter settings, song data for internal sequencer) are saved to the backup memory.
• Insert the data card in such a way that the corner cutout is on the far left side and the connector area faces towards the rear. • If the card is not oriented properly, it will not go fully into the slot. Forcefully pushing the card in may damage it.
61 Storing and Reading Data A data card can hold up to 99 sets of bulk data, within the limits of actually available capacity. • If the indication "noCArd" appears, the data card is not recognized. Check whether the card has been inserted properly.
The [DELETE] LED flashes. The bulk data selected in step 3 are deleted. When wishing to cancel the delete process, press the [EXIT] key to return to play mode.
If the indication "noCArd" appears, the data card is not recognized. Check whether the card has been inserted properly. Bulk data (all waveform data, pad parameter settings, song data for internal sequencer) are copied from the data card into the main memory.
• If the indication "noCArd" appears, the data card is not recognized. Check whether the card has been inserted properly. • If the indication "Cd Err" appears, there is a problem with the data card.
• To store WAV files or AIFF files on a data card for the ST-224, a computer capable of reading and writing MS- DOS format data cards is required. • If "--" is shown in place of XX, the data card does not contain any of the files described above.
This section describes an example for using the MIDI capability of the ST-224. Samples assigned to the pads of the ST-224 can be played from external MIDI equipment, or songs stored in the ST- 224 can be synchronized by a MIDI sequencer or rhythm machine.
67 MIDI Application Example Note data received via the [MIDI IN] jack can now be used to play the samples assigned to the various pads of the ST-224. The correlation between note numbers/names and pads is shown below. The velocity information of note data is not used.
While this setting is selected, song recording is not possible. The ST-224 now is set up to receive the MIDI clock, song position pointer, and start/stop/continue messages via the [MIDI IN] jack. The ST-224 also begins playback. HINT HINT Song playback of the ST-224 can be synchronized to an external MIDI sequencer or rhythm machine.
The ST-224 becomes ready for use immediately, because the loading process from backup memory is skipped. The main memory will be empty. The indication "init" appears on the display.
If there seems to be a problem with the unit, check the following points first. T r oubleshooting 70 Troubleshooting Symptom Check Remedy No sound, or very low volume. Playback sound is distorted or breaks up. Sampling not possible. Sound of [SOURCE] input cannot be turned off.
